Xine_Player is literally a native DCE player. Please look at the source code. There is no key mapping going on of any kind.

Thank you Thom! That helps in narrowing down the search. Looking in Xine_Player.cpp there is some keyboard handling (up, down, left, right, & return) but then it looks like it doesn't do anything.

But knowing it is Xine_Player and DCE, I played in pluto_admin, My Devices, CORE, the core/hybrid, OnScreen Orbiter, Xine_Player. I was able to "send command to device" to pause playback using the "Pause Media" command. The neat feature here is that "send command to device" shows the MessageSend command line:

My mouse buttons work fine out of the box (after gyration "connect") and with Seth's mappings. What I really want is play & pause buttons working for "LinuxMCE DVD" playback.

This morning more buttons appear to be working, so I wonder if the machines have downloaded additional software or something.

Yesterday, if everything was off and I pressed the large green media button to activate the system, nothing would happen. This morning I just tried it, and it worked.

What I meant by the left and right gyro buttons not working was...

While watching a video, the left and right gyro buttons don't bring up the menu options. I have to use the Volume Up and Volume Down keys to activate those, and from there, the 3 gyro buttons work as they should.

There are keys that don't work in various media, but I guess it's an improvement over the MCE Remote + Gyro Mouse. Hopefully just this larger remote will run the system on its own.

I guess I may need to sit down and go through the various media types and see what keys do and don't work at the moment, and perhaps we can all fiddle from there... unless, as TSChak has pointed out, there are apps we can't tap into through Xmodmap?

Everyone seems to be able to use the mouse function no problem, and yet I got nothing. From the wiki: "When the device is plugged in, it is identified and configured as a GO Wireless USB device. The "gyration mouse" bit works immediately."

Listed under devices in my web admin page I can see the remote as GO Cordless GC1005M, and when I unplug or plug it in to my computer I get a pop up showing its been detected, but when I move the remote around the mouse does not move. I know the remote is communicating with its usb dongle because when I press "DVD Menu" a green light blinks on the dongle. I have unplugged the mouse and restarted the computer with just the gyro remote plugged in, but still nothing. The onscreen mouse does not move.

This is a brand new hybrid system and is also the first time I have used linuxmce. It was installed from the newest offered DVD.

I realized that, everywhere on the forums said some button functionality like "follow me" is missing. I am ok with that But I didnt, and cannot, find anywhere someone had a problem using the mouse functionality. Some ideas on how to maybe reset my remote would be appreciated.

Alas my stores around here are out also. I live near Chicago. Is there anyone out there that would be so kind as to pick one or two up for me? Or if you have an extra one (preferably unopened) that you wont be using....
